The correct Answer is:
To determine the total number of diprotic acids from the given list, we need to analyze each compound and identify how many acidic protons (H⁺ ions) each acid can donate. A diprotic acid is defined as an acid that can donate two protons per molecule. Let's go through each compound step by step: 1. **H₃PO₄ (Phosphoric Acid)**: - Structure: H₃PO₄ has three acidic protons. - Conclusion: This is a **triprotic acid** (not diprotic). 2. **H₂SO₄ (Sulfuric Acid)**: - Structure: H₂SO₄ has two acidic protons. - Conclusion: This is a **diprotic acid**. 3. **H₃PO₃ (Phosphorous Acid)**: - Structure: H₃PO₃ has two acidic protons. - Conclusion: This is a **diprotic acid**. 4. **H₂CO₃ (Carbonic Acid)**: - Structure: H₂CO₃ has two acidic protons. - Conclusion: This is a **diprotic acid**. 5. **H₂S₂O₇ (Disulfuric Acid)**: - Structure: H₂S₂O₇ has two acidic protons. - Conclusion: This is a **diprotic acid**. 6. **H₃BO₃ (Boric Acid)**: - Structure: H₃BO₃ has three acidic protons. - Conclusion: This is a **triprotic acid** (not diprotic). 7. **H₃PO₂ (Hypophosphorous Acid)**: - Structure: H₃PO₂ has one acidic proton. - Conclusion: This is a **monoprotic acid** (not diprotic). 8. **H₂CrO₄ (Chromic Acid)**: - Structure: H₂CrO₄ has two acidic protons. - Conclusion: This is a **diprotic acid**. 9. **H₂SO₃ (Sulfurous Acid)**: - Structure: H₂SO₃ has two acidic protons. - Conclusion: This is a **diprotic acid**. Now, let's summarize the findings: - **Diprotic Acids Identified**: - H₂SO₄ - H₃PO₃ - H₂CO₃ - H₂S₂O₇ - H₂CrO₄ - H₂SO₃ Total number of diprotic acids = 6. ### Final Answer: The total number of diprotic acids among the given compounds is **6**. ---
